Commercial Description:
Is an award-winning, traditional, all-natural style of beer that falls under the category of a "West Coast" India Pale Ale (IPA). Characterized by its high hop content, high alcohol content and deep amber color, Hoppy Face™ is brewed using water with a high mineral content. Using only the finest 2-row malted barley and great northwestern grown hops, this combination results in a clean, crisp, well-balanced beer. As usual, no artificial preservatives have been added to our beer during and/or after the brewing process.

Nice hop presence, evened out slightly my the malts. A fairly robust beer for an Amber Ale. Good to the last drop.

~Pours a clear amber color with lasting creamy white head. ~Nice grapefruit hop scent with nice balance of sweet malts. ~Good balance in flavor. Strong hops and malts blend very well together. ~Medium feel, mellow bitter finish. ~No wonder this is their flagship brew. Good!

Creates a heaping amount of froth up top a burnt orange hue. The nose is decorated with mild hops and weak notes of caramel hop. The flavor is a lop sided mixture of caramel malt and bittering westcoast hop that really tips the scale on shock value. Aftertaste is bitter and extremly dry, but overall this is a intimdating amber ale.

Peach. Odd nose of shoe polish, leather, grapefruit, tangerine and peach. Hoppy, just weird. Nice n’ hoppy with notes of grapefruit, wood, apricot and peach. Biscuity and caramel malt hold things together quite well. A nice offering.

Bottle, 22oz, courtesy of Papsoe. It’s a clear, dark golden beer with some microfloaties and a beige head of moderate size. Peachy, resiny nose with a nice malty sweetness to balance it. Resiny and bitter flavor with malty sweetness tending towards beefstock. Some alcohol traces. Full-bodied and semi-sweet. Bitter finish where the maltyness is left in the back. Not a top notch beer, but a fine one indeed. 090821

Clear amber with a large white head. Hoppy aroma with lemons and pine. Flavour was very hoppy with pine, grapefruit and malt. Finished bitter.

Bottle thanks to bhensonb: Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, small-bubbled stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt with a good dose of fresh resiny piny hops. Body starts with pleasant fullness and sweet caramel flavor with good grapefruity bittering and flavor hop balance before a crisp bittersweet finish. A pretty good, full-bodied IPA.

Thanks Lord Gorlock! The aroma is raspberries and caramel. The flavor is bitter orange, lemon, and caramel. Its not that complex of a beer but definitley good for the otherwise boring Amber Ale style. This would be a good session beer.
